"This one's from me," he hummed softly, sliding a slim yet wide velvet box over to Nao. "This one's from Raphael." He placed another velvet box atop, smaller and a little bulkier than the one beneath. "I figured with your sleight of hand, these might please you a bit. Raphael helped with the design of his gift. I only suggested the colors you enjoy be part of it." Zachariel chuckled softly, patting atop Nao's head. "Don't get anxious about it. They're nothing dangerous, I know they're both something you'd get a lot of use of."

Despite handing out gifts to the people closest to them, it may or may not come as a surprise that Nao didn't really celebrate the holidays actually, after a few quite traumatizing and not-so-silent nights. But their eyes did widen at the sight of not only one, but two boxes intended for them. "You really didn't have to---" The small twinkle in their eyes was saying otherwise though! Even after all the headaches they had given him? Both to Zachariel and probably Raphael. If there was truly a naughty or nice list, shouldn't they be basically on the naughty list? Nao peeked through the boxes to see what's inside. Shiny. Maybe they had noticed Nao was kind of like a crow when it came to those. Maybe if they put something pretty on they and put these on too they could catch the attention of--- No one! Nobody at all! Nao carefully closed the boxes again, cheeks slightly burning. It was just because of the frost, they can assure! "Thanks." They added shortly.
